WIDitMDAT klORNIrlO, JULY 15, UTT. 11AYSS AND THE PRISSIDEN TIAL FRAUD. Of course Bopublicsn partiMna Are not )ieaed with the Htin nnl cm iattgtinl biolI jf history against practices In tbe htat Preaidential oleo lion was recitod by the loading apeak era at tbo meeting held recently in tbe Manhattan Club in honor oi Mr. Hendricks. Bit tbey cannot be per mitted to divert the foroo of that in dictment from their party organiaation, against wbioh it will be praaaed by tbe moral aenae of tho American penplo, and to belittle it into a mere personal arraignment of the Administration. Still leu ran they be permitted to mis represent the spirit in which Demo crats propose to deal witb tho actual political situation in this country That spirit was accurately and fully eipresacd by Mr, Hondricke when he aaid : "Tho Democrats will make no factioua opposition, nor will they seek to embarrass tbe de facto Administra tion. Tboy . will sustain It in what is right because it is right and for tho welfare of tbe country ,and not at all be cauae of any lealty to the party that stands defeated and condemned by tho people." The Democratic party has no intention of allowing itself to be dcludod Into deserting its unassailable position, on the high ground of morula and of right, for a doubtful contest over merely legal issues. It has had some experiences and has learned some useful losaons. No well-informed and candid man in this country to day believes tbat Mr. Hayes was chosen President by a majority of the Ameri can peoplo or by an honest majority of tho Electoral College ; but it ia both absurd and miachievous to deny that as a matter of fact he is now the Chief Magistrate of the Union according to tho forms oi law. Technically speak ingishe not only thode facto but dejure President, if wo restrict the lutler term, as wo ought to do, to its legal and not to its moral sense ; for he holda the office and performs its duties, while nobody has disputed bis title in tbe courts, and no body in hia right mind dreams of so disputing it Ho did not literally steal tbe Presidency, and it is silly as well as scandalous to chargo him with doing so; he did not actually buy it; ho did notcapturoilby loreo. What he did was to receive it, although be bad no adequnto assur ance of hie right to it, at the hands of the two bouses ot Congress, acting alter what tbey had deliberately de clared was constitutional method of deciding upon bis claims. In what sense, then, can be be properly de scribed as a fraudulent Prosidont? The answer is simple. His title is fraudulent, whon morally considered, because the electoral votes of Florida and Louisiana, which were actually given to Tilden, were dishonestly cer tified for Uayos. This was tbe basis of bis claim to the Presidoncy, and this was tbe foulest piece of political knav ery in our annala. The plot through which it was consummated was con trived and carried out by the Republi can leaders, and Mr. Hayes, if not an actual accomplice in tbe villainy, aa there Is no reason to suppose he was, at least looked on consenting wbere a high souled and self-respecting man could not bare failed indignantly to protest. His title is fraudulent, when morally considered, because the wrong ful conversion ot the electoral votes In Florida and Louisiana was made effec tive through threats of revolutionary action, which resulted in forcing through Congress the compromise known as the Electoral Commission. The radical Jicpublieane announced their determination to maintain bv force if necessary tho right of tbe Preaidcnt of tbe Senate to count tba votes tor President and Vice President, and troops were concentrated at Wash ington to give meaning to their threats. A few of the more conservative Re publicans, wbo were committed as lawyers against such absurdity, and who are patriots dreaded its evil con sequences, sought an alliance with the Democrats in Congress, and with thoir consent and help lormed the Electoral Tribunal We earnestly opposed the formation of this alliance at tbe time, and plainly warned the Democratic party of its almost Inevitably result, thinking it the part of men to meot wrong and repel it when its coming is plain, rather than to reserve protest and indignation till the evil thing; has been consummated, and the interest of great communities have adjusted them' selves to the condition of affairs which it creates. It is but just to say, however, tbat the miaebief done by tbo Electoral Commission is traceable not so much to its theoretical defocta as to tbe con duct of tbe men who wore put upon it by its Jiepnbhcan authors. In the composition of this body the Republi cans secured a majority, which voted steadily on a party basis, and it is this majority which is responsible for the final action of the commission. The Republicans selected men who were expected to docide and rho did docide that the Unitod States bad no power to inquire whether Mr. Hayos had not obtained the voles of Louisiana, Flor ida and South Carolina by fraud, or whether sundry electors in those States and elsewhere had or had not any con atitulional right to vote all. The effect of this decision was to maintain that an uninvestigated title tainted with allegation of Illegality and fraud was aa good as any other. Thiadociaion every Democrat on the Electoral Com- mission opposed, and every Democrat in tba House and Senate voted to re ject It. Every Republican on the com mission sustained it, and every Repub lican In tbe House and Senate save two voted to accept It Thns the whole Republican party is clearly responsible in tha first place, for the perpetration ot the frauds on which Mr. Haves based his Claims ; and clearly responsi ble, in tha second plaoe, for maintain ing those frauds ; responsible first for transgressing right, and then for per verting tbe law to justify this trans gression. The moral guilt of Mr. Hayes himself consist In Boccptins; the oAoe of President with the know!, edge that bo tair trial bad been had to .how tbat another man was not lairly cntilludtoit. Itiitpeorb t Columbim Hut whoever my rife to olijeet, tlio Immediately after llio election ahowedidmiiii(rntiun and ila fiiomln eliould tliat ho himself thought Tilden waa bo silent.

Ilia truutment of Chandler and ot the othor mun who pnt him in oftioe ia a virtual confection tbultbey used vile meana to acooniiliab al sensibility and souuht popularity "by destroying his tools." Sinco bia inauguration the Democrats have had no purely political grounds lor quarrel ling witb bia Administration, but on moral grounds tboy hato it, and must hute it with a perfect haired, its' iWing been conceived in ain and brought forlh in Iniquity ; and tho destruction of tho guilty party which it represents; haa become to every Democrat a duty of patriotism rather than a partisan object. Like ovory duty of patriotism, therefore, it must bo dono in tho spirit of patriotism, and not in the spirit of faction scarcely even in tlio spirit of party. Tho leaders who aro to guide tho Democratic party to the victorious acbiovomont'of thia duty must devote tbomaolvea, not to exasperating but to obliterating old issues, not to sterile diecusion over tho post, but to tho de velopment of such a liberal and na tional policy as olono can entitlo the party which upholds it to the confi dence ol tho country and to tho con trol of public affairs. AVir 1'ori MorM. RETURNING ROARD CRIMES. Tbo organsof tho administration are doing a great wrong in thoir herculean efforts to prevent the legnl proceedings against Wells and Anderson, of the Louisiana Returning Board. It may bo said that President Hayes cannot afford to allow tho transactions of tbo board to be brought under tbo search ing light ot judicial investigation ; but, however that may bo, it ia beyond doubt that be cannot afford to show solicitude aa to its results or take any steps to prevent tho rottenness from being uncovered, We havo seen with amazement reputable journals liko the New York Tribune and its Chicago namesake, which aro supposed to havo intimate relations with the adminis tration and to spcuk its voice, if any body docs, first imploring tho people of Louisiana not to betray their friends, meaning Mr. Hayes and bis Cabinet, by allowing tbe trial to go on, and tbon threatening thewholoSouth with the direct consequences if theirprayors for the compounding of felony are un heard. The Now York Tribune went so far aa to say that tbo South may de pend npon it that if Mr. Hayes is "broken down" tho soldier and tho carpet-bagger will march back into the Southern State Houses pcrhnps be fore the end of tbo present Presiden tial term. This threat occurring in ao article on the Returning Board indict ments is nothing moro nur lejs than an admission that the conviction of tho accused will lead to the overthrow of Mr. Hayes's title to tho Presidency, if not to his expulsion from the White House. Olbor administration journals are enforcing tho same viow, witb variationa. It is high time that such utterances should bo in somo way dis owned if indood thoy are unauthorized. There Is no disposition on the part of the publio generally to embarrass President Hayes in any respect Ho baa done so many good things and promised to do so many more that criticism has been wooed to silence and enmity disarmed. His good in tentions being recognized, tho tendency baa boon to smooth his pathway as much as possible, and, as to bygones, to let them bo bygones. Ho is tbe lawful President of tho United States by virtue of the electoral act and the proceedings thereunder, and bo is uni versally obeyed and respected as such. But tbe means by which tbo electoral votes of throo Statos which voted for another candidate were counted in his favor are a matter of history and can not be sponged into oblivion. The men who, by perjury, fraud and forgery, robbed Louisiana of her constitutional privilcgo, still live, still occupy the high places they bavepollutod and are amcnnblo to the laws of tho land. It Is urged that by tacit or expressed agreement tho Nicholls government is pledged to condone political offenses incident to tho campaign, (i ran led ; but forgery Is not a political offense, neither is perjury. The resolutions passed by the State Senato pledged the Nicholls government to discounte nance persecution, from any quarter, of individuals for past political conduct Ia a trial for notorious fraud political persecution T The alteration of an official record is an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment under tbe revised eode of Louisiana. Thia was done by Welle and Anderson, accord ing to testimony taken by Congression al authority. Tha false uttering ol an altered, forged and counterfeited offi cial record as atruoand genuine one is also a penal offense This, too, was done by Wolls and Anderson, accord ing to testimony taken by tbo samo authority. With such testimony boforo them tbo grand jury would have been false to their oaths had they failed to indict these mon. And tho indictmonls boing found, who is to stay the proceed ings in answer to the prayer that comes from agonised lips in the North T Not the Attorney Goncral nor the District Attorney, for they are sworn to exe cute the laws of the Commonwealth. The court is in like manner estopped, and the Govornor haa no power in the premises. To ask intervention ot the law officers ol Ijooisiana is to invoke perjury to secure oblivion of porjury. There is no way of getting out of It Tbe trial must go on, lot the conse quences be what thoy may. Sooner or later the troth ia bound to come out, and it cannot come too soon. No innocent man will be wronged, no just cauae will be Imporilod. Any com promise at this stage oflheproceedings will be entirely Ineffectual to clog the wbeels or justice. Tbe autTcrers In that event would bo those through wnose enons ine compromise was effected, and they would forover rest nndcr tbo suspicion oi complicity in the crimes they have tried to bido from eight, while the day of settle ment would be merely postponod. Policy has no place in theeonsideration oi the matter, and principle demands that the law shonld take lis course. nublo ; that Iho law was nt the back of tho Returning Duurd, and tbut the members of tbnt body wore incorrupt ible patriuta wboae ahoea tbe average citiaeo wua not worthy to unlutcb.

Now tlmtlboso peoplo have gono to the courts, shul thoy, at the player vr threat of those friends of law and order, be turned away empty T Consistency and aelf foepoct require no less than passive acquiescence on tbo part of tho admin istration. Its friends cannot coniiiluin If a contrary course bo interpreted as a confession ol weakness which will damage it irretrievably in popular es timation. Mia. Timti. FOUR MONTHS A PRESIDENT THE POSITION OF flAYKS AKII MAT OF TI1.IXK. The editors of tho New Oilcans Timet, New York .Vim, and other journ alists, who advocated the election of Mr. Tilden, u well oa scores of con scientious Democrats, all over tho country, have taken the liberty ol criti cizing tho conduct of Mr. Tilden, be cause of bis seeming indifference to the "tircat Fraud" which has been perpe trated upon the country through bim. Wo felt liko answering tho gentlemen indicated, but feared from lack of abil ity, mat we uiigiil lull. Hence we abandoned tho caso; but fortunately the editor of tho Ilrooklyn Eagle, (no ble bird) cornea to our relief, and in his able manner punctures thcciiptioua and the growlers in thia way : "The conscience which makes cow ards of tho organs, because tbey know that Mr. Tilden was elected and Mr. Hayes was not, frequently leads them to fear that the Democratic statesmen will head a movement to eject tho trespasser from tlio Whito House. Fearing this, they proceed to invent tlio movement, inventing it, they then proceed to abuse Mr. Tilden without stint, the orguns in this business prov ing tho old saying that rascals never forgive a person whom they have causelessly wrongod. Tbe people have not been imposed on by these slanders. Thoy know that Mr. Pillion's very failings aro moro virtuous than all the merits of all the papers tbat abuse him, and that his personal popularity is a million times greater than all intlucnco of all tho Radical journalism in the United Slates, even multiplied by tho devil. Iteaide there has been no moro evidence to connect .Mr. Tilden with any such movement to disturb tho country than there is to show that Thomas Carlyle was concerned in tho frauds of the Louisiana Returning Board, or that Martin F. Tupper in stigated tho Bulgarian massacres. Tho kind of journalism which !ias occupied iUelf with lying about Mr. Tilden has lead a Baltimore paper, the oun, io receivo irom a correspondent a statement which claims to comprise a rejoindorMr. Tilden himself mado to a Southerner, who called on him recent ly, and told bim the peoplo ol the wbolo country would nave sustained his claim and mado him President, had he taken a firm altitude early after the election, and insisted upon bia rights. Mr. Tilden, aceordina? to the eorres. pondent of the bun, replied that "he had thought carefully and most con scientiously over the subject in all its possiblo iihosea ; that ho had bocomo convinced that, should he adopt the course suggested, it would bo resisted by tbo Radical party to the extent of drenching tho land in blood ; that he shrunk from tho responsibility of pro cipilating another terrible civil war upon bis countrymen, and consented to tbo compromise which averted so dread a disaster. Ho fell as keenly aa anyone the impropriety of the means oy wnieli tho present result bad been brought about, but for all that he did not regret bis own action. Aa it was, tbo people of the United States under stood it ; the Democratic party to-dav occupied auch a proud attitude beforo tne country as it bad novor occupied belore, and no mortal power could re sist its triumphal march to succoss in 1880." As tbo Baltimore i'un ia a very careiui newspaper, there is reason to believe that Mr. Tilden said in sub stance what its correspondent Bays he rccoivoa irom the gentleman who call ed upon the Democratic atutesman. This is the more probable, too, because tne views attributed to Mr. Tilden de scribe, as well as account for tho ao- lion he has taken, and are viewswhich are eminently honorablo and charac teristic. To have declined to becomo the occasion of civil war, even with all tbe right on bis side and lour flftbs of tbe fighting clement of tho country with bun, will redound more to Mr. Til den's credit as a patriot and a states man than any act in our annals does to tba creditol any man, with tbo pos sible exception of Washington's resig nation of his commission and his de clination of royalty. The whole matter of the fraud and of ill contequencet u taking care of itself tern enougn. sir. iiayca baa the 1'resi doncy under circumstances which com pel him to tnko notice, every hour, of uu opinion oi tnoso wboso judgment in history, upon tlie meant whereby be got his office and upon himself for tak ing it. Ho baa had to ruin his party, trick bis creators, hand over the States which mre falsely made elect him to his oppomnti, and in everyway demon strate the untruth of his titlo and the truthfulness of tlio Democratic victory in the Unitod States. He haa lost the respect evon of tbo men xho counted perjury and forgery of no consequence In bia behalf or their own.snd the respect of the rout has not boon lost, only because it was never acquired. His policy ia a plngariam. Hia honors aro nettles, llit position it a pillory. His name irill become at distinctly dinesteemed as mat of any other principal or tool in capital or vol it will offensex against peo- plet. He is one of the very feic rulers of airnAin arAo can never no for any credit for any good they may perform or design. His administration might bo fuller of blessings to his country than that of any other Kxecutivo, but none of them would produce any regard or affection for bim, and all of them would bo only accepted aa hia admis sion that he was bound to render tolerable hia wrongful occupancy of anoiner place, and tbat while be was incapable of the reparation of relin quishing his position, ho was, never tholuwt, moved by policy or romorso to mako as much atonement, ahort of that, aa possiblo. 1 he only American who can gain no approbation by bene fiting bia country is tho President of the United Statos. Hia desire to do right is construed as tha confession of bia offense. Kvery day of his term ia a now omint in the indictment of the wrong ho Incarnate. His endoavor to effect any reform ia rated an at tempt to placate the publio memory. He is thankful through bia omnna tbat tha citizens recognize him. It la held to be a aiarnificant thinir that. after all, for the eake ot tbe office he holds, gentlemen will personally deal with bim, and even sit st the tablo wltb him. His eecaiie from Insults is recorded as a remarkable and gratify, ing incident to hia tripe through the country. An atmosphere of disinuane. menl mrruuiuU him in every mini, ilia parly having abandoned either vindi cation or dufunae of bin title, are al ready luligued with excusing and apol ogising for the fuel ol bia incumbency.

It is doubtless aa merciful tbat tho future ia concealed aa it is certain tbat tho laws of justice, violated by the laws of men, will vin dicate themselves in il. As a patriot, Mr. Tilden whs incapa ble of snponmposing npon tho sure progrvaa of the resentment and repris al of tho victimized people any obliga tion of redress, vindication or rcvongo by force. As a philosopher, he well knew that it was unnecessary to do ao, and that it would be an inferior choice of remedies to do so. As a statesman, he knew that the people would not havo to wait for bis policy aa the re sult has shown uud that policy se cured, its defrauded exponent and rightful Executive could wait His placo and claim would be accorded him by the verdict ot history. His choice by the people and tho nullifica tion of IhatehoiceftyraMdweroovents wnicu would not bo understood oven by tho judgment ot his own genera tion, while posterity would pass that comment upon him and his competitor wnicn wouiu prove that what appears us success to ono ago is seen to have been tho acme of failure, by the noxt. This lofty confidence in the people and in time haa been vindicated, with a celerity which shows that oach gener ation ol Americans prefers toscttleits own accounts with those who wrong it. Uow that account running now but four months-io being collected of this Administration and is to bo col lected to tho end, wo have already suggested. The rest of it, in fuvor of the party ot -Mr. Tilden, will beset lied thoroughly four years hence. If at that time Mr. Tilden himself should bo enabled or induced to head his countrymen, their rosponso to his rights and theirs, would be so eignal that ho would receive his second elec tion to tbo Presidency with greater honors, at the outset, than even his not equaled genius for government could accomplish, for the Republic, in tho occupation ol the office itself. THE GREAT FRAUD. Tho Bultimoro Sun't Washington correspondent, referring to tho indict ment of the LouisianaKoturning Hoard says: There isan undoubtful conscious ness pervading administration circles that the situation is exceedingly grave, and ia within tho range of probability that tho Outcome may be the voluntary retirement of f rusidont Hayos from the Whito llonso. v Although tho two colored members of tho Board havo been included in tho suit il is well understood thut there is no .desire to punish them for the wrongs In which they wero no more than pasaiva accomplices, and it is thought the opportunity may be offer ed them to turn State's evidence. Whon the evidence that the Electoral Commission wou id not receive il is given to the world it will inevitably producea sensation. There is no authority for tho rumored proposed indictment of Messrs Matthews and Sherman. Such is tbo current gossip in Now Orleans and Washington, but there is no auch purpose at present entertained. No one familiar with affairs in Now Or leans Irom the 7th of Novembor until tho day w hen tbo electoral vote was declared could possibly have any doubt that Wells and Anderson wero upheld in everything dono by them, and in numerous instances actually advised by Messrs. Matthews and Sherman. These two gentlemen were equally re sponsible, morally and legally, as Wells and Anderson. Thoy went to New Oi leans for no other purpose than to do their part toward taking the vole ot Louisiana away from Tii di;n,and it is history how faithfully tbey kept to that purpose. Notwithstand ing this, no good object could bo sub served by indicting them, and the legal authorities ol Louisiana doubtloss un derstood this very well. Tho exposure of their complicity with tho greatest political crime of all history will be all that ia aufticicnt, nnd the outraged people of Louisiana can well afford to let them rest on tho pillory of indigna tion on which they will bo suspended by tho whole country. Two J.imis of tub Law on tiiiib Muscle. A corrcspondentof tho Pitts burgh Post, writing from our neighbor ing town of Indiana under date of July 7th, gives the following account of a little set-to between (ien. llnrry While and J. A. V. RufTnor, Ksq., practicing attorneys at the bar of that county. The correspondent save: The uaual quiot of our town waa somewhat disturbed yesterday alter noon by an enaouiiter between a cou- Slo ol attorneys. Lawyers generally ght with words, but in thia instance il came to blows. A case in which tho Indiana County Bank Is Plaintiff, and of which General Whito, our Con gressman, is President and hall owner, was being beard before Judgo Blair, at Chambers. The case involves a large amount, and tho different interests were represented by several lawyers. Tho Defendants allege payment and claim credit for some eight or ten thousand dollars Illegal interest Sev eral legal gentlemen wero present arguing tho case, and among them (cnornl White, for Plaintiff and J. A. C. Rtiffncr, Esq., for Defendants. Tho General, who, since hia return from performing voluntary ecrvicm in Lou isiana last full, imagines that he haa tbe whole government upon his shoulders, and that every knee should bow to him, did not relish some of the points mode by counsel for Dotendanta, and in regular pugilistic style struck at Mr. liiiffner, who promptly replied in the aamo way, and bad not the Court and those prosont interfered, tho Gen eral would probably havo received a severe castigation. No ofllosrs being present tho gentlemen escaped a term in Jail. General White retreated to the strong walla of bia bank, and now appears on the street with stout walking stick. It is thought by many that tho end of this affair is not yot Who is a "bigger man than old Grant" now? Tbo Johnnr Bulls are making a fnas over him. as Americans did over tbe Prince of Walos some years aim god for no better reason, ALL SORTS OV ITEMS. Tho bocholor's toast tho day we celibate.

It is just possible tbat mis gnosi is mo Jianshco giving warn ing of tbo political death of Mr. Hayes. All the nowspapera are making fun of Gov. Hartranft for sending a gush ing dispatch to Grant "in care of Queen Victoria." Tho New York Timet de votes a column of fun and satire to hia caso. I he St. Louie Times is in error. Of the two "snobs," Grant and Picrrcnont ono Is not "as much entitled to wear a unilorm as tho other." An act of Con gress permits Grant to wear his uni form. Pertinent query from tho Now Vork Sun: "Will ex-Judire Hilton exclude Jowish women from the unfinished Homo for Working Women, upon which Alexander T. Stewart expended so muen money r Hayes' southern policy moves th Chicago Inter-Ocean to ask once more in denpai r,' A re we a nation or a lea true ? We shall settle this point for tho . U. whon we discover wbethor J. Madison Wolls is "a vassal or a peer." BossTwoed wants an Eight by Seven Commission appointed in his caso. That sort of arrangement is good enough to got a man into tho Presidon cy, but it does not follow that it would open tho doors of Tweed's prison. Next year Novada will elect a Uni ted States Senator to snocoed Jones, and there is a disposition in some quar ters to elect a resident of the Stnto, If thoso who own Novada and live in Ran Francisco will consent to tho arrange ment. Th roe hundred delegates and five thousand visitors were in attendance at the Pan-Presbyterian Council at tuinDurgh, Scotland, recent v. Rev. James McCosh, of Princeton, mado a glorious Fourth ol July speech. Tho Council pans out well, Tho talk about Hayos voluntarily atepping "down and out," is sheer non sense. Ho knows be has a irood thinir. though got in a bad way, and be will hold on to it. He will not abdicate as loni: as ho can draw 1.10 000 a rem and "found.'' Hayes is not that kind of a man. Hayes is the Olivor Twist in Ameri can politics, according to tho New Or leans Democrat, uccauso when bo got into the Whitd House be went back on tho "big burglars" wbo put bim up to it He might have gone back on them more than he has with groat profit to tho country. This, from the Detroit Free Press is not lunny it hits too hard for that ; "Fred Douglass is now lecturing on old John Hrown, but he fails to tell why ho didn't peril his lifo lor bis race and accompany Bream to Virginia." Fred staid in the rear to deliver lectures on Wsshington "white trash." Hore is food for contemplation from the Now Vork Tribune: "Ooeqtiarler the money sent out to convert tbe Jews in tbe last five years would have built a church and school houso on every hillside in Pennsylvania and reduced tho Mollies if not to a Christian state at least to ordinary humanity." Tho Russian government having or dered the purchase of 30,000 horses, Gormanv will in a ffiw inv a lean, a rln. cree prohibiting the export of horses from the empire. It is somi-officially atated that thia measure, if adopted, will bo solely on tho ground of internal economy and not for political reasons. The Charleston Journal of Commen is "strongly under tho Impression that Judgo Bond waa tho inspirer of the statement" about Chief Justice Waite being "cut" in Charleston, and that the Chief Justice and bia daughter were 'toe victims oi this man s coarseness touching them, and of his hatred toward our peoplo," One ol the few papers who refuse to haul down the bloody shirt is the Chi cago Inter-Ocean, which still clamors lor protection for the citizen, and says : Sneers at carpet baggers and maudlin sentimentalities about conciliation will not change the conviction steadily gain ing ground, that a doctrine as danger ous as accession is being Warmed into inc.
